The Doan thing is embarrassing.If that means I Doan ramble on endlessly about the same tired topic, with an unwillingness to move forward - I guess you're correct.

The Doan thing is embarrassing.
The McKenzie poll had Bouchard as the clear cut number five and Wahlstrom bunched up with the next three or four guys. Then he said there was a clear drop.Puts him right at 5 - on this we have common ground?
You are definitely much cooler than the rest of us. Of course we could tell that from the misspelled username and your profile picture and that slick Doan thing you do.But not anywhere near as embarrassing as perpetual line combination speculations.

So reading is also a struggle. I’m sorry, man. It must be frustrating to be so mystified by words on a screen.Sorry, thought you had your own opinion.

Have you got a point? Or just that posting line combos is dumb and that you’re smart because you’re old, illiteracy aside?Doan lump yourself in with everyone else.
See what I did there? It's one of those bumper sticker things, that fly above you.
I don't think has a low ceiling, but you and others seem to think he was some kind of offensive dynamo and now he is ruined because he played with the Yotes two years ago. In fact, I think he lost a year of NHL development by RT wanting offensive dynamo Rinaldo in the line up.Arguing that Crouse has a low ceiling just makes the inexplicable decision to give up a second rounder for him playing 70 games on the fourth line instead of sending him down and giving up the third round pick even worse. You know that right?
Yours always turns out to be correct anyway. Haha. Thank you for adding value to the message board over the years. I love reading coherent observations and commentary.It's a NHL prospects board. If we didn't obsess over the draft (going on 27 years of obsession myself) we wouldn't be here. I learn something new every draft crop. I appreciate the other opinions. Rt watches the games. I may not agree always with his opinion but I'm happy he has one.

Now you are an expert because you watch the draft? Since you are obsessed with the draft you do know that most prospects never play in the NHL and even drafting in the high first round in a crap shot.Desperation was at the root of the decision to rush Crouse. It appears justified desperation as that regime got the axe right after. So I can’t say I blame guys with guns to their heads. It’s clealry the wrong development path for projects like Crouse. That he’s been born out time and time again. I think you just haven’t been paying close enough attention to prospect development trends in the nhl for long enough.
Your partner in this theory Jake happily admits that lending a keen eye to prospect development is not his forte. I’ve been obsessed with the nhl draft for 15 years. My nhl team has been mostly garbage in that time. I’ve ranked prospect watching ahead of nhl watching for most of that time as a result.
Be as snarky as you want. Keeping Crouse up was very clearly a stupid decision at the time. It looks even worse today. There’s nothing to argue about.
Large, toolsy prospects who haven’t yet dominated amateur leagues offensively should always be given time to do so. That’s called development. It’s also common knowledge and conventional wisdom. It’s not an argument. There isn’t a point/counterpoint thing, here. It’s cut and dried. Somehow you’ve missed it. I’m sorry. It’s not worth it. I’m not going to sit here perpetually reminding you that water is wet.I don't think has a low ceiling, but you and others seem to think he was some kind of offensive dynamo and now he is ruined because he played with the Yotes two years ago.

My god Jake. They’ve cloned you. How many D1 games did you catch this year? Great frozen Four, right? Catch that? Check out any CHL games so far? Excited for the Memorial Cup are you? I’m sure you watch every year, right? U20? U18? Are you watching the WC?Now you are an expert because you watch the draft?

Whatever I can do to help you read. Baby steps man. It’s never too late. It’ll be like one of those adult GED classes. You can do it, buddy!Promise? No more typing just to see your words? No more beating the same old dead horse time and time again? No more patting yourself on the back in the event you're correct? Really? Promise?
I may read this forum a bit more, after all.
You’re posting on a message board called Hockey’s Future. What do you think this is for? Casual fans who don’t know much about prospects? Why are you even here? Do you join woodworking message boards to talk about the great end tables you bought and **** talk people passionate about saws and finishes?

Most prospects DON'T dominate amateur leagues and are not offensive dynamos, and never will be, and that is why most don't make it to the NHL regardless of how much development they get.Large, toolsy prospects who haven’t yet dominated amateur leagues offensively should always be given time to do so.
